Media: Americans will not be able to oust Russia from the Indian arms market

35
The Russian-Indian agreement on the supply and co-production of weapons reached by 24 December shows that Moscow remains one of the main partners of India, according to an article published in the Washington Post.



The leaders of both countries said that they would “simplify the visa regime, start cooperation within the framework of a joint venture for the production of military helicopters in India, and also continue to build nuclear reactors in the country,” the newspaper said.

The author points out that the Indian arms market is "becoming increasingly attractive for other major players."

"In recent years, the United States has entered into competition with Russia, which is striving to become the main supplier weapons to India. They mainly supply military planes and helicopters there, "- quotes the publication RIA News.

According to the newspaper, “Moscow understands Delhi’s desire to diversify arms supplies, but at the same time does not lose its share of the arms market of this Asian country.”

And although the parties have not yet confirmed the information about Delhi’s intention to buy Russian C-400 air defense systems, this deal, according to the author, is the most anticipated one. At least, "this is not removed from the agenda," he writes.

“The Indian weapons company Reliance Defense announced on Thursday that it has signed an agreement with the Russian corporation Almaz-Antey, worth $ 6 billion on production and repair. It is known that Almaz-Antey is engaged in the manufacture of C-400 air defense systems, ”the newspaper notes.

WP, points to the fact that “the export of Russian weapons in the world only grows every year,” and India has always been one of Russia's main partners.

      Was there such information? To throw a pipe from Iran to India, you need to negotiate with Pakistan. Previously, information about the "Power of Siberia" passed that it could be pulled to India.

    There is no way for Americans to squeeze Russia out of the arms market of India, too many ties between our countries, and it’s more profitable to deal with such a reliable partner as our country.

      Optimistic. Only here India can not be called a reliable partner, especially with its current orientation towards the West. At least they are quite heavy negotiators. A lot of examples can be given - with the same joint project of a promising fighter.

    Will we be the main suppliers of weapons - India will decide. They enforce the principle of diversification. Therefore, the main task of ours is to keep a certain segment of the Indian market. If there is an opportunity, then expand it. But to think that Indians will buy exclusively from us is stupid. And the United States will certainly try to squeeze a competitor out of the market.

      Volodya! Hello. The whole point of the Indian market is how we will provide warranty service and whether there will be service centers in India? As well as the stability of our economic policy. We must remember the history of T-90 tanks of the Indian order. So far, Putin has not personally confirmed that Uralvagonzavod will continue will work, until then the Indians pulled with this order, which cost the life of V.I. Potkin, the chief designer of the Ural car factory.

      Unfortunately, Russia is second only to the sale of weapons after the United States ... mattresses are trying to develop markets that have always been the site of the USSR, and after the Russian Federation. A much more remarkable fact is that some weapons buyers in the Middle East who bought American weapons, now thinking about buying ours, in the light of such convincing advertising of it in Syria.

    If it weren’t for massive corruption in the countries where we offer our weapons, then there would be nothing for the Americans and others like them to catch. The cost-effectiveness criterion most often requires the choice of our weapons.

      All this is correct, with one small exception. Since the times of the Soviet Union, there has always been a practice of forgetting about service. And spare parts for our machines were made by the whole world except the manufacturer. I remember that after school I went to work at the factory, and this is the heaviest burden for workers and for the plant was the release of spare parts.

    Even if we make every effort, this will not succeed. For many reasons, and most importantly, at the economic level. In addition, we ourselves are sometimes to blame for the fact that the Indians introduced diversification in the purchase of weapons. We ourselves are sometimes to blame, resting on the laurels of the past and continuing to hope, then we will always and everyone will buy everything that we did not offer. But the market has changed. Like the appetites of buyers. And as a result, we began to lose tenders, which earlier (40 years ago) won at a time.

    It was, but now they are trying to unify. Their armored vehicles are mostly ours, but their "Arjun" already has a NATO caliber and a rifled gun. They are also now starting to unify artillery, using 122-mm and 130-mm caliber and old systems. And in this segment we are completely losing. Our light 155-mm howitzer M-346 (EMNIP) hardly even participated in the tender, and what could participate - 2A61 - has a 152-mm caliber. And what for is India when it switches to 155mm. And the M-346, although it was created for export, did not hear that someone bought it. And who will take what no one is in service.
    So we articulated the artillery segment

"Right Sector" (banned in Russia), "Ukrainian Insurgent Army" (UPA) (banned in Russia), ISIS (banned in Russia), "Jabhat Fatah al-Sham" formerly "Jabhat al-Nusra" (banned in Russia) , Taliban (banned in Russia), Al-Qaeda (banned in Russia), Anti-Corruption Foundation (banned in Russia), Navalny Headquarters (banned in Russia), Facebook (banned in Russia), Instagram (banned in Russia), Meta (banned in Russia), Misanthropic Division (banned in Russia), Azov (banned in Russia), Muslim Brotherhood (banned in Russia), Aum Shinrikyo (banned in Russia), AUE (banned in Russia), UNA-UNSO (banned in Russia), Mejlis of the Crimean Tatar People (banned in Russia), Legion “Freedom of Russia” (armed formation, recognized as terrorist in the Russian Federation and banned)
